Synopsis: After two years, Bengaluru’s renowned Lal Bagh floral show is back with a bang. This time the flower show is dedicated to two veteran actors from Kannada cinema named Dr. Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar. The ten-day-long flower show will feature a variety of local, international, and Ooty-grown temperate flowers, as well as a few other flowers from ten different countries, including hydrangea, tulips, and Hypericum berries.
Bengaluru is synonymous with its horticulture and it is also known as the ‘Garden City’. So it’s no surprise that the city has a few annual flower shows. The Lal Bagh Flower Show is one of the biggest and is organized every year at the Lal Bagh Palace, a heritage site in the heart of the city. However, the show was last held in 2019, after which it went on pause for 2 years. But in 2022, the Lal Bagh Flower Show is back with a bang.

Additionally, visitors will get to see flowers such as orchids, carnations, lilies, hydrangea, tulips, begonia, hyacinth, and Hypericum berries, which are rarely found in India.
Rajendra Kataria, the Chief Secretary of the Horticulture department, personally visited the Lalbagh Flower Show to check the preparation. This year the show was themed on two veteran actors from Kannada cinema Dr. Rajkumar and Dr. Puneeth Rajkumar.
The main highlight of this show is going to be its preparation, which makes this flower show a zero-waste, zero-plastic, and zero-littering event. Which is amazing!
